Maintaining your ISO 14001 Environmental Management System

ISO 14001 environmental management goes beyond certification, showing you how to continually improve your organization. Find out how developing and maintaining your ISO 14001 system allows you to respond effectively to changing expectations and regulations.

Make the most of your certification

You can access a number of resources designed to help you get the most out of your environmental management certification. Regular updates on the latest developments in the ISO 14001 series and other management systems will make sure you’re always up to date. You can also keep your skills relevant with our training courses. All of this, plus support from your client manager and business reviews, will help your organization to stay compliant and competitive, and to keep improving.

Use the BSI Assurance Mark

Once certified, you’ll be able to make your own mark by displaying the BSI Assurance Mark. It’s a valuable marketing tool that you can use to promote your organization. It signals a clear achievement and can offer a competitive advantage. We’re recognized globally as one of the most experienced independent assessors of best practice. That means you’ll also get international recognition as a business that achieves standards of excellence every day.

You’ll also be listed in our global Client Directory alongside other leading organizations, helping you to open new markets, secure existing ones and compete with confidence.

Save when you audit two or more standards

ISO 14001 shares a number of requirements with ISO 9001. If you have both management systems in place, you can save up to 25% by auditing them at the same time. And the more management systems you audit together, the more you can save.
